Well done on progress Looks like the team is doing well, and well done to Anusha! Now, give it a big push to get it all set up before time runs out! Will keep following your progress.
The project A tear came to my eye as I read about your success and the good work you have planned. We will be following along and hoping to read about your wonderful adventure.
Good work! I've just stumbled upon your blog, and loved this post on Bella. I haven't looked up Voice of Stray Dogs yet, but organisations like that are brilliant beyond words (Soi Dogs in Thailand and Dogstar in Sri Lanka do similar work). Looking forward to reading your other blogs :)
Cheers

Hi Sussa, we've came home at 6pm today and after a shower & dinner, I could catch up on ALL your news. How amazing, but also challenging and very sad, what you are experiencing. I'm so proud of you - go for it my girl - to make a difference in one life, is far beter, than doing nothing. Bella, how cruel, but also how great of people to take care of these animals. Bless you for taking care of him! I'm so inspired to get more involved to help you and other to make a difference. We know it ask not much - drops fill a bucket and the ocean. Love you HEAPS!! Mum xx
You were brave Shwee Well done on rescuing Bella! We can't change the world (or even India), but we can make a difference to the lives of others, one step at a time.......
So many questions! Shwee,
How may pods are currently up & running & self-funding in that area?
The kids are obviously young. What is the target age group & are there facilities / opportunities for senior school students?
Do kids do sport after school? Is the pods part of school or extra curricular?
Will post some more Q's later.....
Well done Well done sus! I like the brevity of your posts, and you're really conveying the essence of what you're doing. Keep up the great work my love!
PS Will make a donation today....
Hey Sam- about Pods Have a look at the 40K website at http://40k.com.au/40k-plus/about-40k-plus/
A Pod is an after-school program for primary school in rural India, which uses tablet technology to teach written and spoken English. The aim is to improve the fundamental English skills and understanding of kids who go to the government schools, which are severely under-funded and under-staffed.
Thanks for the question!
